Thomas H. Atkins, the millionaire
and banker of New York, has become an
evangelist. He believes he is called upon
by God to spread the Bible among the poor
and outcast. He also believes in taking
the Bible in one hand and bread in the 9TH

clergyman, but he Is doing good when the
opportunity offers. 1t is said that he has
already given away the greater part of his
large fortune in charities.
The Presbyterian General Assembly
at Omaha has appointed committee to
confer with similar committee already ap-
pointed by the Southern Assembly at St
Louis, upon the subject of the proposed
reunion between the Northern and South
ern churches. Judging from the tone of
the St. Louis assembly, the conference will
be without practica! results. The Southern
Presbyterians are unalterably opposed to
the idea Of ''niggers" travelling heavenward

Ssals before being killed are driven in
